Redmond, Washington – March 7, 2016 - Data Science Dojo, an educational start-up, has selected its first non-profit applicant to receive tuition-free training in data science and data engineering.
Michael D’Andrea from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), a 501c(3) non-profit, will attend the company’s 5-day Seattle bootcamp, scheduled for March 28 – April 1, 2016. As a Data Science Dojo Fellow, he receives 50 hours of tuition-free training, books and materials and some travel expenses.
Why does Michael want to attend a Seattle bootcamp on data science?
As data science becomes increasingly central to research and fundraising efforts, non-profits want to take advantage of these new tools. However, maintaining an in-house data science team is expensive. The Data Science Dojo Fellowship program offers non-profits the opportunity to train one of their own employees in data science and engineering.
By the end of the class, Michael may not be a data scientist, but he will be able to help SASB perform research more efficiently, saving time and money.
